problem1. Illustrate clearly, the three fundamental steps required in order for the CPU to performa prepare operation in a specified memory location.

problem2. Make a distinction between the “memory indirect” and the “indexed” addressing modes.

problem3. Name all four fields of each line of an assembly program.

problem4. The memory hierarchy can be typified by a number of parameters such as the access type, latency and bandwidth, cycle time briefly illustrate each parameter.c) problem5. Illustrate the protocol employed by the MMU (Memory Management Unit) to satisfy a request made by the processor for accessing given element.

problem6. Illustrate, in detail, what do you understand by the term virtual memory?
